Have a great time tonight, guys. Really, really wish I could be there. Have "drinks"* on/for me.
*substitute whichever vice seems appropriate

How did the Dux & that Chch arts centre block fare?
The Dux was open on the weekend, but has been shut since. Haven't actually heard much about the Arts Centre, which I'm assuming is good news.

The other danger if you were standing in doorway was the obvious get 'thrown to the floor'.
So, surely, sit in the doorway?

I foresee a compilation of useful information for the rest of us if and when we face our own disasters. Like Emma's tip to have cash on hand. A good pikelet recipe would be helpful too.
One thing I've come out of this really dubious about is the value of having stored water. You buy it, stick it in the garage, go out five years later when there's a disaster, and there's stuff growing in it. This happened to a couple of people I know.
So I wonder if water purification tablets are more useful. Because how many people are going to remember to keep changing the water?

Some of the buildings just have large mustard-yellow Xs on them, and the word "no". I'm hanging out for "what, are you fucking kidding me?".

Yellow? Why yellow?
Green is for fine, go. Red is for insanely dangerous, stop. Yellow is 'limited access' - you can go in and out for stuff, but don't stay there.

Yesterday you tweeted a map showing all the aftershocks after the big one with a time schedule since the quake, and just watching that made my hair stand on end.
I honestly can't remember who I got that link from on Twitter, but I think it conveys the experience in a really scarily tangible way. If anyone hasn't watched it, please do.

Well f*ck me I've been yellow stickered & must vacate.
Goodbye sweet broadband.Oh Joe, that sucks. Good luck.

I read it in bed last night, Emma. (Your Metro column.) Honestly, it kind of felt like you were in the room with me. It was nice.
ETA: Wait, um, not like that. I apparently have a case of terminal suggestiveness today.)
This would be the room you suggested I "sleep on the couch" in?

Oh, and a little belatedly Emma, your column in the current Metro is fucking great.
Thank you. (I've been working on learning to take compliments like a grown-up.) It'll also be part of an exhibition on Outrageous Fortune at the Auckland Museum this summer. I'm quite chuffed.
